...or they made multiple trips. It doesn't take long to get out there using neutrons. I did it in 4 hours and I had never used neutrons before.
Brush your teeth.
Dove Enigma UA bombed, preventing completion of its voyage in time for the man it was named for.

The level of utter cluelessness on display in far too many of these comments is beyond disturbing to witness! Almost as bad the the UA Bombing thing that started it all!
To think, the judgmental brigade we all know and love is actually capable of going there! Judging a terminal cancer victim's replies to clueless comments directed at them during an event that has been upended by griefers.
And some people have the nerve to poke fun at the size of my Ignore List?
Godspeed, sir o7. I’ll be on my way out later tonight (U.S. time).
Just been interdicted by Thargoids on the way to Darnielle's Progress. After realising there are TWO Darnielle's Progress in the universe. I yelled "you inhuman monsters! Don't you know what"... then I caught myself.
True, poeple often underestimate how small this galaxy has become since the neutron-HW.
Yes ... you'd still need to get in-system without your ship falling apart, though, and 1500Ls of supercruise will get you a few nasty hits if you're carrying even 20 in an unshielded bay. Plus you can't combine that "always jump fast" with neutron boosting, so it might nowadays be quicker to carry a smaller amount fully shielded.
With the Dove Enigma expedition itself using those waypoints as its own waypoints as well, I would look to that rather than a hypothetical large group of UA bombers as a reason for noticeably increased traffic - there's a few hundred of them, according to EDSM, around those waypoints.
Make lots of trips, basically. Round trip to Colonia and back with neutron-boosting is only 6 hours or so in a stripped-down ship (20 tonnes on an Anaconda with CRCRs, potentially) and it's been 3 weeks since the ship arrived, so that's long enough for one extremely persistent person (or a few slightly less persistent ones) to take enough.
We had earlier UA damage - which has been fixed in this week's update, by some unknown MA haulers - to The Pit, only a few LY from Colonia. It's a lot of effort, but it's not completely impractical to do if someone has the patience.
I’m just going to say this. Yes it’s part of the game ie the ability to be horrible BUT on this occasion the person responsible had to take those materials some distance. And that shows planning. I really hope they read all this and offer some help to make up for their lack of COMPASSION as a human being. If they don’t then I hope they get “ganked” at every single opportunity
I fail to see what is there to pick.
Yes, Fdev should have done some things better (like no blackmarket), but i fail to see them as villains here. Lets hope if not overtune it, they can support some other in-game way.
Sorry to hear man. Its a rough ride at times. But you know what they say, love is watching someone die. Its no easy task.

To reiterate. The state of the station doesnt impact on the event, as they can still.dock there.
You're either woefully uninformed about how UA attacks work, or willfully.ignorant and pushing the usual 'open bad' agenda.
While in hindsight it might not have been a great idea, they're a pretty common feature - the majority of orbital stations in Colonia have one - so I assume someone just copied the facilities template from the last orbital they added.
Anyone who could have spotted the potential without hindsight could have probably out-hauled the bombers with MAs solo, so I'm guessing that no-one did and it therefore feels unreasonable to criticise anyone else for not thinking of this earlier.
(The station is, because of its position, either completely or almost completely immune to almost all other normal BGS-based attacks - though I'm sure that, too, is a favourable coincidence rather than a deliberate plan)
Exactly. This is what I just don't get about all this outrage and angst. It's not like the ship isn't there anymore.
Yes, it could have been only ships from the expedition. As i said, i never saw them, just the reports. And as i already said, dedicated runs back ond forth are equally possible. It is not that huge distance anymore. And after Gandharvi, if you dive to -1kLy, the ingame plotter will cancel out even the alt-tabs for the trip. Making the last 8k Ly very easy and fast.
I can't say right now what the reasons for the black market being present are. However, I don't believe any person deserves criticism and hostility, especially not directly targeted to them. Memorials such as this are a way of celebrating the community and it's something that team do with the very best intentions. Having such significant hostility only damages the ability for us to run more future initiatives like this.
While I respect the fact that there are high emotions regarding this. I would always ask people to be considerate and respectful at all times.

Nobody complained to FD that the Megaship had a Black Market till now... There's been plenty of time.
Have dealt with some nasty pieces of work in my lifetime, but there was always some deep logic to the madness. If what you are saying is true then that is just pathetic beyond belief. That ship should never have had a black market, end of story.

AFAIK it's uncommon for Megaships to have a BM. Especially Research Vehicles. The Gnosis doesn't have one. Why put one on a Memorial ship?
Can you share your build with me? Want to help so I'll need to quickly retrofit my own cutter.
Cheers
FDev added UA bombing in the first place but have kept it in long past the point where it makes any sort of sense. These things aren't "unknown" anymore and cargo racks that can safely hold them are cheap, and, as of 3.0, available throughout the bubble. The idea that a handful of these items could shut down a station has long since past the believability stage.
If UA bombing never existed, I don't think there'd be people saying, "You know what Elite needs, some way for a handful of CMDRs to shut down stations."
